Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is a bio-based pest management process. This process have total six steps and they are: monitoring, record keeping, action levels, prevention and documentation.
By adopting this process farmers can control pests without harming the quality of food and environment. This process reduces the risk of water and mud pollution. This is a low budget process rather than the pesticide process. So it is economically beneficial for the farmers. The quality of food is much better which is beneficial for the people's health. This process reduces the risk of pollution which is beneficial for the environment as well as for all of us.
